There's a reason Celts have fallen apart w/o Perkins, his defensive presence is overlooked since there's no stat for it. Rondo is a triple double threat every night and he's been a much more bigger threat scoring these past 2 seasons. His shot is improving still, and if Parker has been able to make a nice career out of his speed, all is good for Rondo.
The Celtics are 4th in the NBA in defense without Perkins and Perkins is complete garbage offensively.
Perkins knows his role and sticks to it, and he's able to guard any interior big one on one. If you watched Celts over the past few years, you should know they were a better team with Perkins. Why do you think the big 3 were upset when he was dealt?
